Salumeria 104

As always, Salumeria 104 never disappoints. This is not your typical Italian restaurant, so if you’re looking for carbonara, Alfredo or spaghetti and meatballs, this is not the place for you. However, if you’re looking for authentic Italian cuisine with freshly made pasta, delicious prosciutto and Salumi boards, and extraordinary specials, this is the place for you! We came here to celebrate my daughter’s 16th birthday. For appetizers we had the prosciutto board with Salumi and bresaola which was so fresh and flavorful. We also had my favorite, the fried green tomato and burrata. The tomato was nice and firm and not greasy. The burrata was nice and creamy. So good! The birthday girl ordered the caca e pepe, which is made in the Parmesan cheese wheel and was so delicious! Creamy, flavorful and al dente. My husband ordered the branzino and it was so delicious. A bit small but we are accustomed to the American portions! Lol I ordered the prosciutto ravioli, notice a pattern??, with brown butter and sage. I cleaned the plate. It was all delicious. And the tiramisu is very good… and I usually don’t like tiramisu. 100% recommend. The service was also fabulous. Angelo the server (not to be confused with Angelo the chef) was amazing and he too is Italian!

I went for lunch with my wife and a friend, looking for an authentic italian meal in town. Food was absolutely exceptional as well as the overall experience, truly similar to an italian restaurant in Italy (I am italian). Unfortunately, the girl that served us was a little bit cold and unfriendly with us, ruining a little the warm and welcoming feeling that an italian place should always convey. That was truly disappointing to me :/

My boyfriend and I visited for the first time today and let me tell you... we had such an amazing experience. Our waiter, Pablo, made sure to take his time with us and explained everything on the menu. He was very passionate and recommended us what would now be our favorite dishes. Everything was amazing - our appetizers, our entree and our dessert! We had a Prosecco that Pablo recommended and it was the perfect pairing to our meals! I ordered a Lasagna and my boyfriend ordered the lamb chops. We enjoyed every bite. Can’t wait to come back again! Pablo, you made our night!

The only good thing was the prosciutto and truffle cheese. Customer service good. The meats I asked medium, and they gave to me medium rare, which is fine anyway, in the picture looks good, but the taste is like a cheap meat, and the potatoes didn't have any flavor. Too bad for 160$ dinner , that I wasn't able to digest after 3 hours .

Our server was attentive and offered suggestions as to what to order. The food though wasn't anything to write home about. It's not bad, but it's not great either and when most of the main dishes are $20+, that's pretty disappointing. The majority of the pasta was al dente (which is great!), but nothing special about it. The lasagna was a bit mushy and cool in the center. My wife ordered the salmon and it was very good.

Salud to Salumeria 104. We had a special dinner and the service was above grade. We started with the salami and cheese tray. There was plenty for the four of us. We had four salami selections as one came with the wine. We also had four cheeses for a good variety. The grilled octopus ($19) was moist and cooked perfectly. The Branzino ($29) comes with two fillets and lettuce/tomato salad. It was very favorable. The Milanese ($28) was a little dry and just ok. The standout was the spaghetti in butter, oil and cheese with truffles. I have to go back for the gnochhi. The panna cotta was delicious and the wine selection is large. Your salami tray will run $30 and cheese selection $25. Your first course runs $18 to $22 with the second course $26 to $34. .

SALUMERIA 104 is one of our favorite restaurants for authentic Italian food. We have tried all of its location and have never been so far disappointed. We always go there with the best intentions of “not eating so much like last time” but… that never happens! The bread and breadsticks (my favorites) they bring you while you wait for the meal disappear well before the food arrives. We always start with an appetizer of cheese and/or (mostly) “salumi”, then have a “primo” or a “secondo”. I love all of their “primi”, while my favorite “secondi” are the “Milanese”, “Porchetta” and “Scottadito”. And if they have their home-made Almond Cake that day… I really can’t refuse it with my espresso, no matter how full I am. They also have a good selection of wines, but we always go for their House Wine, which has the best quality/value ratio. And if you want, you can buy salumi, cheeses and olives by the pound to bring home. I see that some have complained about the high prices: although they have increased, we still find them to be very reasonable instead, plus: the cuisine is authentic and the portions are big. But maybe our opinion is affected by the fact that we live in PBC, where restaurant prices are much higher, even if the cuisine is not truly authentic. They also have a small outdoor dining patio, the staff is nice and we always enjoy our chats with Angelo! And the restaurant is right on the Miracle Mile, which is great for a walk after the meal (in winter time). The only negative part is the street parking, which may be difficult to find in busy seasons and is not free.
